I remember this was the exact same behavior that I had during 6th grade when planning out a short play.  We were to act out a scene from a book we read for class.  And suddenly I had the brillant idea and insisted that we do the MANGO TREE story.<\/p>\n<p>And so there was this class assignment and I found myself pushing myself to frame each shot, direct each shot, insist on how the camera should move.
